This stunning collection of photographs showcases some of the world's most dramatic and beautiful volcanic landscapes. Along with geothermal regions in Europe, the Americas, Africa, New Zealand, the Indian Ocean, and the Caribbean, it portrays such storied volcanoes as St. Helens, Etna, Kilimanjaro, and Krakatoa. Geologist and photographer Bernhard Edmaier captures a wide variety of phenomena, from hot flowing lava and towering columns of smoke and ash to lakes, islands, and mountain ranges formed by volcanic activity. The text is provided by geologist Angelika Jung-Hüttl, who has worked and traveled with Edmaier for over a decade and has written several books on volcanoes and glaciers.

"Earth on Fire captures the intricacy and size of even the most commonly photographed volcanoes.... A stunning addition to any coffee table."—EARTH Magazine
